"Priceless Memory" Layout by Marie Sabatier

Hello everyone,

For my second layout in September, I chose a beautiful and tender photo of my new granddaughter Lyana with her mother. This is the first layout I have created with a photo of Lyana, but it certainly will not be the last!

"Priceless Memory"

2Crafty Chipboard used:

Priceless Memory

corner-swirly-heart-set

foliage-set-18

To complement this precious memory, I selected the Priceless Memory, Corner Swirly Heart Set, and Foliage Set 18 chipboards. The large heart perfectly represents the bond between mother and daughter. The foliage blends naturally into the floral design of my layout, and the title was an obvious choice for this very special moment.

I started by covering all the chipboard pieces with a thin coat of white gesso before adding the colors.

I placed the large decorative heart from the Corner Swirly Heart Set beneath the photo, with one of its beautiful swirls extending under the embellishment cluster on the left. I colored the heart with Frayed Burlap Distress Oxide, then highlighted its edges with Vintage Photo to add more depth.

The heart is an important part of my composition and creates a lovely flowing movement beneath the photo. I applied the colors lightly to preserve all its delicate details, then added a few white splatters to help it blend with the rest of the layout.

I arranged the pieces from the "Foliage Set 18" around the photo and among the flowers. I used Bundled Sage Distress Oxide, along with highly diluted Arctic Blitz ink from 49 and Market, to create soft shades of green and blue that coordinate beautifully with the papers.

To finish, I colored the "Priceless Memory" title with Cappuccino ink from 49 and Market and added a few touches of Vintage Photo Distress Oxide. I kept the coloring even across the entire title so that it would blend harmoniously into the composition.

I really enjoyed combining these delicate chipboard pieces with the soft, floral atmosphere of this layout.

Thank you for stopping by today!

          

Cherish by Tania Ridgwell

   Hello there! 

Tania joining you today to share the second of my DT projects for June. 
  I have created a layout for my second share.

"Cherish"

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*10" Decorative Panel - Doily 1

*Cherish - Loopy Font

*Foliage Set 18

I have used the beautiful 49 & Market 'From the Garden' Collection to create the base for my Layout.

I first painted all my chippie pieces with a white Posca Paint Pen.  Once dry I sprayed some Heidi Swapp Chartreuse Color Shine Mist onto the Foliage and Cherish Title chippies.  I left the Doily Panel chippie white.

I added the doily chippie to the top left of my page and then added my photo.  I embellished around my photo with lots of paper blooms and leaves.  I tucked in the foliage chippies amongst the paper blooms and finished off my page by adding the Cherish Title chippie along the bottom right.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all with my Layout. 
Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.

Holly Jolly Star by Tania Ridgwell

 Hi there!

Tania joining you today to share a bonus DT project for December.  
I have altered a Wooden Star for  Christmas.

2 Crafty Chipboard Used:

*Merry Christmas with Holly Branch

*Corner Thick Vine

*Poinsettia Set

*Foliage Set 18

I have used the gorgeous Mintay 'Holly Jolly' Collection to create the base for my star.

To colour my Merry Christmas chippie I painted on some Dylusions Dirty Martini onto the leaves, I painted Kaiser Red Iridescent Spray onto the berries and once it was dry I sprayed the whole piece with Kaiser Gold Shimmer Spray.  The Corner Thick Vine chippie was coloured with Chopped Pesto Dylusions Spray and once dry I dabbed on some Kaiser Gold Shimmer Spray.  The Poinsettia chippie I coloured with a mixture of Kaiser Red Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays.  The Foliage chippies were first given a coat of gesso and then coloured with a mixture of Kaiser Red Iridescent & Gold Shimmer Sprays.

I decorated the star using fussy cut elements from the Holly Jolly Collection, added some coordinating paper blooms.  I tucked in the Corner Vine & Foliage Chippies amongst the fussy cut elements.  Added the Poinsettia chippie to the top left of my star and finished off by adding the Merry Christmas Title chippie.

Thats' all from me today, I hope I have inspired you all a little with my Christmas Star.
  Until next time thanks so much for stopping by.
